60: AI, Templates, and Scribes, Oh My!

In this episode, Dr. Junaid breaks down the three documentation tools everyone has opinions about: AI scribes, human scribes, and templates. Spoiler — there's no Holy Grail. A new JAMA study shows AI scribes save modest daytime minutes but don't reduce pajama time, and they raise real concerns about accuracy, equity, and consent. Human scribes still shine on context and nuance, but cost and turnover are no joke. And templates? They can be a gift from past-you to present-you — or a note-bloat machine in disguise. Listen in to learn how to think about these tools so they serve you instead of the other way around. And if your real bottleneck is starting every visit cold, the Pre-Charting Sprint is here.Not Yet: Physicians' Choosing Their HardGet Paid TrainingPre-Charting SprintCheck out the Charting Conquered internal data👉 Subscribe & Stay Connected!Never miss an episode—follow the podcast on your favorite platform and get actionable tips to work smarter, not harder.💬 Join the Conversation:Got feedback, questions, or a story to share?
